a Defiant Farmer.

CHrco, January 20th.-At Dayton, a
town six miles south of Chico.
Charles Farnes, young farmer of
about twenty-six years, ten days
ago deserted his wife and three children,
took up with q loose female and moved to
Chico. An indignation meeting of Day
ton citizens was held, and they determined
if ever Farnes returned to that town he
would receive coat of tar and feathers and
be ridden out of town on rail. When the
news of this meeting reached Farnes at
Chico he at once returned to Dayton and
posted a notice in a conspicuous place,
stating that he was in town and would be
at his old home during certain hours, and
defied the citizens to attempt to give him
the coat promised. Farnes was well pre-
pared for the conflict. No action was
taken nv the citizens, else there might
have been bloodshed After this Farnes
had warrants issued for the arrest of Frank
Reames, f. Smith, 7. Chalman and I. a.
Hensiey, whom he believes to be leaders
in the affair The defendants were taken
before a Justice of the Peace at Chico. and
all were admitted to bail. EXCEPT Smith
who refused to give bail, claiming that
he had done nothing and demanding an
immediate trial.

"LANGFOaD COLONY" is most advantage
ously situated in this respect 1t is between two
railroads that both connect with steamboats,
that run from the Sacramento and San Joaquin

The Coming Motive Power.

Let anyone consider what the steam en-
CINE was forty years ago, and then ex-
anime the very latest improved compound
engines of to-day, with all its appliances
for economy and efficient service, and then
let him try to estimate what the electric
motor of thirty years hence will be. The
compound engine, with its wonderful per-
Torrance, has come as result of long
practice, large experience, profound study
and the application Of wide acquaintance
with principles. Why should not the
electric motor gain as much from the same
sources? And if is shall so gain, is it I'M
reasonable to suppose that electricity may
crowd out steam in good many cases as a
source of power? If large power can be
stored in the form of electricity, so that
1t may be transported on street car, why
may it not be generated at one point and
then be shipped to another, like any ordi-
nary commodity, to be used as it is wanted :?
Why, for example, should not the water
power of Niagara be employed to generate
power, which shall then be stored, trans
ported and sold to operate mills in Phila-
delphia? There is regular market now
for coal; why should there not then be a
regular market for stored power? Why
should not a mill owner then go out and
buy his power for the season Just as he
buys his cotton, his wool, or his dye-stufis :?
If power can be baled up like cotton, or
barreled like sugar, then we shall have
power dealers, power brokers, and may be
a power exchange-in fact all the details
OF new and important industry Is this
fantastic supposition? Not half so fan
tastlc as the notion of travelling from Bos-
ton to Philadelphia in a single night was
to our grandfathers. 1t Is rather clearly
indicated possibility, the promise of which
IS contained in the street car which is now
moving about under an impulse derived
from steam engine that stopped before
the car started.-Iertile Record.

churches, and must be made welcome
there. To reach the unevangelized masses
the greatest need was to secure the help OF
consecrated women. If women were needed
IN foreign fields, so, and much more so,
were they needed in the home field
DR.. Pierson, of Philadelphia, followed
IN telling speech, in which he advocated
more ungloved contact of the rich with the
poor, and the abolition of the pew system
in the churches.
THE SALOON
DR.. r. S. Macarthur. of New York,
opened this pregnant theme, and in doing
so he opened up something of hornets
nest. His plea was for unity among the
friends OF temperance, but some thought
him little unfair in wanting all to unite
on his platform of high license. Asking
what high license was, a voice in the au-
dience cried out Its a compact with the
Devil" but the speaker was not at all
embarrassed, and while some evidently
dlssented, IL was clear that large number
IN the audience heartily Endorsed his
views. He had recently been attacked, he
said, by the Voice, and the meanest things
ever said of temperance people were said
by those of their own ranks. In twenty
months 1,S00 saloons had been closed in
New York City, and he proposed to stay in
the field until triumph came,
DR.. Haygood. of Georgia, one of the
brightest men in all the Sunny South,
observed that the thing most to be feared
in connection with the saloon was that the
mass of the people did not fear it. The
saloon he held to be chiefly responsible for
the distress among laboring people. The
poor had other good grounds TO complain,
but If the saloon were out of the way all
else could be borne. Referring to emanci-
patton, he held it to be great blessing, but
appealed powerfully to those who had
freed the slaves to see that they were not
now crushed By the saloon. II. T.

India as a wheat Producer.

Consul Bonham says India is a
dangerous competitor of the United States
The report of Consul-General Bonham at
Calcutta, British India, treats at length OF
the wheat interests of that country.
The area devoted to wheat in 1886 was
about q 100000 acres, and the total yield
289,000,000 bushels. As compared with
the wheat of the Pacific coast, the Indian
wheat is inferior, but when exported to
Europe it is mixed and ground with wheat
of superior quality, by which process a
fair marketable grade of flour is obtained.
The method of cultivating the soil is in
the main the same as it was centuries ago
and there seems to be great difficulty in in
ducing the farmer to invest in modern
agricultural implements, and yet, with all
the simple and primitive methods, the In
dian farmers can, in the opinion of the
Consul-General, successfully compete with
those of the United States in the produc-
ton of wheat This is due to the fact that
the Indian farmers outfit represents a CAPT
tai of not more than $40 or $50, and his
hired help works, feeds, and clothes him.
self on about 81 80 a month. The export
of wheat from British India has increased
from 100000 cwt. in 1868, to 2l,00000C
cwt. in 1886, and the increase of 1886 over
1885 amounts to about 100000 cwt.
The Consul-General says that some OF
his predecessors have claimed that the
United States has nothing to fear from
India as competitor IN the production OF
wheat. In this view he does not concur
and believes that to-day India is second
only to the United States in wheat-grow.
ing. Furthermore, wheat-growing in
India is yet in its infancy, and its further
development depends principally upon the
means of transportation to the sea-board
He fears that with the cheap native labor
of India and the constantly-growing facili-
ties for transportation, the United States
will find her a formidable competitor as q
producer of wheat.
